Like a tethered white cloud Erica canaliculata (channelled heath, Cape heath) was flowering in a cool, but frost free glasshouse as this South African species can withstand temperatures down to 1°C. This tree heath makes an evergreen shrub up to 2m high, needing a fertile, acidic, well-drained soil in a sunny, frost free location.
